Re: [Plug] docs on /etc/crontab?
|
The entry:
0 3 * * * /usr/bin/rdate -s hostname
does nothing in /etc/crontab, but works fine in root's crontab. I've
noticed that /etc/crontab has this entry:
01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
To quote the man page, "The 'sixth' field (the rest of the line) specifies
the command to be run". By inference, the field "root run-parts
/etc/cron.hourly" is a shell command. How can both these formats be the
same?

It has the same exact format. Check out "man 5 crontab" and read up
on all the settings you can use.
What was it you were wondering about?
